March 2 is the National Education Associationís Read Across America Day, held each year on the birthday of Dr. Seuss. The Seussical celebration kicks off a week of reading across the nation. As Dr. Seuss himself said, ďYouíre never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read with a child.Ē
